有关LPI的三个tutor的优缺点。

原来是做广告的，看标题还真以为是介绍其他tutor的。能把你的心理论文题目给我么，我去瞻仰一下

机智

最不喜欢这样的人了。差评。

English112能找你写么？

差评TT自卖自夸

所以啊，这三个好像都做了20年了

现在打广告的都好厉害呀！

嗯，成功的把我给拉进了这个帖子，打广告还是下了功夫的，不是反话

+1你能写eng112么

I am continuously frustrated about people who mention what I do or other tutors commenting about what I do when they have no idea or just a partial idea of how I help students.
But when I am mentioned, I want to respond.
When this person writes: LPI的考试注重语法和表达地道，偏重想法和前后连贯。当然我觉得后两者不是不重要，但是对于LPI考试可能语法是重中之重。he is simply wrong.
In the first lesson, I show students this Level 5 essay from the LPI book.
The topic of the essay is at the top of the page, but if you read the two body paragraphs [skip the introduction and conclusion for the moment] you will read nothing but a story that I call "My life in Canada after I came from Taiwan".
There is nothing whatsoever that addresses whether parents should or should not give advice to their children or allow then to make their own decisions.
The essay talks about her life, her family, her father's business, her big house, her friends, her boyfriend, her not speaking Chinese a lot, her grandparents being upset about this, etc. etc. etc. etc. but there are NO ARGUMENTS at all about whether parents should or should not give advice to their children or allow them to make their own decisions.
The topic sentence is the first sentence of a body paragraph, so if the topic is "Why do students like UBC", a good topic sentence would be. "Students love UBC because they like the SUB"
But this person's topic sentence is, "I am an immigrant who has been in this country for quite some time".
That is wonderful...haha...but it simply does not qualify as a topic sentence given the topic of the essay, but it is a good topic sentence for a two-paragraph story about her life in Canada.
If you were to give the two body paragraphs to a million English teachers and offer them $1 million if they could identify the topic of the essay, no one would get one cent.
Here are just those two paragraphs.
Could anyone have any idea what the topic is from reading the entire body of the essay?

There is not a word in the two body paragraphs that address the topic of the essay, such as "One reason parents hould give advice to their children is that this helps them to grow up to better adults"...among 100,000 other possible sentences.
You can show these two body paragraphs to as many friends as you want and ask them to guess what the essay is about, and not one will know.
I suspect that 99% will guess that it has something to do with immigrating to Canada.
I have offered my car to about 2,000 students if they can show me any real arguments in the two body paragraphs that diirectly address the topic, so I will offer it again to any reader here.
It has only 16,000 kilometers, a special $3,500 sports package, the best sound system BMW sells and a read wood dashboard that has to be specially ordered from Germany.

So, when this person writes, LPI的考试注重语法和表达地道，偏重想法和前后连贯, this is simply not correct.
I often do talk about content with students, but it is not connected to what this person writes above.
It takes time to write these posts, so I won't talk about why I discuss content given that I have already written that the essays is not graded on content.
And I certainly am not suggesting anyone write a stupid essay like this one in the LPI book.
I have theories about how such an irrelevant essay could have ended up in the book, but the simplest explanation is that the LPI marker who wrote this book read this essay [that is clearly a Level 5 in terms of the LPI] and simply focused so little on the content [as I would expect] that he didn't notice that the essay is just a story.
I think the LPI should not have put this essay in the LPI book, but no book is perfect, and this essay helps me explain how the test is marked, so I am grateful to them for this.
I have brought the issue of what an astoundingly bad essay this is in terms of the lack of content to the LPI as I don't think it is an appropriate essay for the LPI book, and I am interested in whether it appears when they print the book again.
From the perspective of the LPI, I think they should choose another essay.
From my perspective , I want them to leave it in the book as it help me explain what is really happening with this test.
I wish to write more about what this other tutor says, so I will post again here soon.
I do not look at other tutors who understand this test as competitors but a colleagues.
I have written a great deal about the LPI on these pages http://tieba.baidu.com/p/1499420342?pn=3
I have never mentioned another tutor unless they write about me first.
But I would prefer that they not write about me because they do not understand what I do, and I do not like responding to comments that mention my name.
